Unlike Jan-Benedict, I have been able to format my root partition
(500 MB) without any problems. My overall experience wasn't much
better, though. I've never been able to complete debootstrap.
I ran it by hand and there are quite reproducible seg faults when
installing packages (the gzip -c process dies, I don't have the
exact message here). Also, I see random freezes. However, I'm not
sure this is the kernel or my hardware. (I think the NetBSD on my
machine freezes too from time to time, so I suspect the hardware.
However, I cannot tell for sure since I'm not using the machine
much.)
